Summary: Gun Shy - A Must Read
Comment: I recommend Lori L. Lake to anyone who appreciates a quality storyteller. Lori has the ability to draw a reader into her fictitious world, allowing the reader to feel what the characters are feeling - good or bad. That to me is the sign of a good writer, and I believe that Lori wears the title of writer very well, as is evident with Gun Shy.
What starts as a routine disturbance call, turns into a life-changing event for the veteran cop responding to the call and to one of the victims involved. So much so, that Jaylynn Savage wants to follow in the path to help others, as Officer Dez. Reilly did for her and her friend.
Fate has thrown these two women together, now can they overcome their own obstacles to go from partners to partners in the truest sense of the word? This is not just another romance novel, but a trip into the lives of two big-city police officers and the events, challenges and fears they are faced with on and off duty.
Gun Shy had me enthralled right from beginning to end, and when the end was reached, I felted I had had a glimpse into the lives of some very special people and a better understanding of what a police officer might encounter while putting their life on the line for us all.
I am definitely looking forward to buying the sequel once it is released.

Summary: Mosaic
Comment: Police officer Dez Reilly responds to a call where she saves two women from violent burglars. One of the women, Jaylynn Savage, is so smitten with Dez that she herself begins training to become a police officer. Dez, still recovering from her police officer partner's death as well as a series of relationships that ended badly, is jarred by Jaylynn's infectious spirit and uninhibited emotions. Dez is equally drawn to and skittish around the younger woman. And as Dez helps train Jaylynn, the two become more and more entangled, but can Dez overcome her emotional hang-ups and learn to love again? This magnificently written novel draws the reader into the private lives of both the women as it explores their will-it-or-won't-it relationship. While on the surface it seems like just another lesbian romance novel, "Gun Shy" turns out to be much more. With adept grace, the story leads the reader through the grieving process of the taciturn Dez, who ultimately must face her own inner demons if she wants to fully embrace a relationship with Jay. Even the minor characters are fully realized, and the book as a whole is a colorful tapestry that will entrance readers and leave them begging for more.

Summary: Introduction to two fascinating, complex characters
Comment: I bought this book by quite by accident. I had not read anything by Lori Lake. Many times I encountered her books, but for some reason did not buy them. A mistake that will be rectified shortly.
Having friends in law enforcement, and having worked briefly in the field myself; she did her homework in making that aspect of the book very true to life.
Thinking I could put the book down easily, I made the mistake of picking it up to read for a couple of hours during a doctor's visit. Big mistake! I found I could not put it down. Just like LJ Maas, this author has a way of not providing a good stopping point. I even took it to the dinner table, which is a first for me.
What was most intriguing about the story was the relationship between the two main characters. Both characters are very complex, without being overly angst driven. She has a way of putting you inside the minds of both; without making it confusing. You always were clearly aware of who's point of view you were following.
Like many of my favorite books, this is not a hot and heavy sexual story - it is a true romance story. Fortunately with a sequel (and possibly a third?) I plan to follow their story.
